Excerpts

"There are so many people in the world that have so little, and there are so few that have so much. The resources of the world are shrinking, and the problems of the world are growing." [1]


"Most people do not even have enough to even live a balanced and harmonious life, so the more you want for yourself, the more you draw from the limited resources of the world, the more you deprive other people." [2]


"When another nation’s resources are being taken and overwhelmed and it puts up resistance to this, then there is war." [3]


"For humanity has overwhelmed the earth in its provision of vital resources. You are entering a time now when even food and water will become increasingly difficult for nations to acquire adequately, where entire cities will be running out of water and where food will not be available to entire nations in adequate supply. You are reaching the limits of what the world can provide." [3]


"Here the management of your resources, the distribution of your resources, the cooperation between nations, becomes an imperative, not simply an ideal or a wished-for set of circumstances." [3]


"If food production were severely damaged all at one time, it could set in motion forces that would be very difficult or impossible to control. The wealthy nations could not send food to the poor nations because they could not gain access to it. It would not be available, for everyone would be hoarding now, protecting their own populations. You can give away your surplus, but if you have no surplus, you have nothing to give in this regard." [4]
